It’s been a while since we last posted about Japanese TV adverts from YouTube user JPCMHD who uploads them regularly. They’re always fun to watch, and the latest upload includes adverts for Mouse the computer company, Y! Mobile with the viral Pen Pineapple Apple Pen song, a pelvis workout device, and an adorable advert from JP Post featuring the cutest alpaca delivering a parcel. Enjoy!

Our new post with the best TV adverts from Japan is now here! I could watch Japanese adverts all day. They always bring a smile to my face and I always find a product that think I’ll have to pick up next time I’m in Japan. In this selection of adverts you will find some of the following: talking dogs riding a train, an ad from AKB48, a bunch of gaming apps (a few I must try out), Strong Zero drink (I have to try next time I’m in Japan), cotton snow candy from Mr Donut, Sofbank has a robot hover on sale, a cat on holiday and a lot lot more. Enjoy!

It’s been a while since our last set of Japanese TV adverts, so this time we are posting 3 sets of wonderful ads for your viewing pleasure. Lots of great ads can seen in this section, that as always is uploaded by the user JPCMHD on YouTube. Some of our favourites from this time is the pepper robot advert (would love to get one!), some funny looking super heroes, a kind of a cool advert for pop noodles, Sprite made a fun ad with a hidden trapped door stunt, and a whole bunch of ads dedicated to mobile games and loads more – Enjoy!

It’s time for a new lot of Japanese TV adverts. Some of the ads that can be seen in the videos from JPCMHD below are: a fun ad for Fanta, which is a popular drink in Japan (our favourite Japanese flavour of Fanta has to be grape – so nice!), an ad for one of them fancy Toto Japanese toilets which I wish we had in Europe, a funny ad for UFO noodles, an ad showing the Coca-Cola campaign with names on bottles, which we had here in Europe a couple of years ago, a couple of Soft Bank ads with one of them a bit weird, well more than normal. Oh, and a flying train and of course a whole lot more.

We can’t get enough of the wonderful and lot of time the wacky TV adverts from Japan. We just love to share them with you and we hope you enjoy this great selection of adverts that have been shown on TV in Japan recently. We have ads from SoftBank as normal (which has a bit of a cross over to the world of Disney this time), a cat driving it’s Yahoo! van around the streets like cats do, a fun ad for the theme park Fuji-Q Highland, an advert for Green Aroma featuring Perfume, and also an ad showing some of the cool looking robots from Murata.

8 months agoby whysojapanHie Shrine, a Shinto shrine in Tokyo. It is somewhere around 600 years old, but has been rebuilt a couple of times due to a great fire in 1657 and the bombing of Tokyo during WW2. It is one of the national treasures of Japan, and a place in Tokyo where you can see pretty red torii in a long row. #NationalTreasure #国宝 #kokuh ō #HieShrine #日枝神社 #HieJinja#Shintoshrine#torii

However, they respect each other and they are very good friends. They both have a great spirit of hospitality. They always try their best to cheer and encourage everyone.” #tokyo2020#olympics#olympics2020#mascots#whysojapan#olympics#paralympics
